The Upper East Side is essentially the stretch of Museum Mile, which runs along Fifth Avenue, lined with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Guggenheim Museum, Central Parks eastern border, the luxury shopping corridor on Madison Avenue, period brownstone houses, plush apartments, and cultural icons such as the Frick Collection, thus giving the neighborhood its elegant and timeless New York vibe.
